Manchester Tickets Wed 25th April
Just realised that this thread says this gig is the 25th April when it is the 25th March.As the first, warm up, gig is in 8 days time, I would imagine there is a lot of nervousness in the GF camp as to what to do if the Govt ban public gathering abo…

Sadly, you don’t have to be wealthy to suffer from a mental illness; quite the opposite. My point was that people that are hugely wealthy never seem to be happy with what they are worth, and are driven to accumulate more at what ever lengths. I mean…

It’s become quite clear that wealth is a mental illness.When you have nothing, very little or a modest amount, you rub along as best you can. Then people seem to cross a threshold, and the acquisition of more wealth takes over their souls and they c…

Mark. Did you get my follow request on Instagram (from Lisa’s art account)?We cannot view as you have it set to private, which may be why the link you have posted is not working.

Good idea. Forget retina or fingerprint scans. I’m sure every dick is unique and this could become a new identification standard.*At the bank* ‘Can you provide identification Mr Smith?’*Zippppp, flopppp*‘That will do nicely’

Perhaps it’s vile old white men that as the edge closer to death are getting religion to hedge their bets as they’ve suddenly realised there are no pockets in a shroud to stash their stolen fortunes.

We don’t get that in the UK so much; politicians playing the God/Jesus card. It seems a perculier American politics thing.One thing I would say to them, and I posted it on Twitter for anyone who follows me there, is if you are a Christian as you cla…

There are strong parallels between what is happening in the UK at the moment and in the US. It’s founded on telling lies and if anyone calls you out, you just double down on them. I’m not sure how your media deals with this; we know that Fox News se…
